Nearly equal built area and outdoor terrace above Alcazaba Lagoon

Panoramic views take in the Mediterranean Sea, the surrounding mountains and the communal gardens below. This resale 2 bedroom penthouse with private pool in Casares Playa belongs to the Alcazaba Lagoon development. It divides its footprint almost evenly between an 87 m² built area and an 81 m² terrace.

Inside the 87 m² built area

The layout puts the living room, dining area and open-plan kitchen into a single shared space. Large windows bring in daylight and keep the sea and mountain views visible from inside. Having the kitchen open to the room suits buyers who want a single sociable room, though it means cooking smells and noise are shared with the seating area. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms complete the built area. Both bedrooms have fitted wardrobes, and the floors are finished in marble. With 87 m² built across two bedrooms, two bathrooms and the main living area, room proportions are sensible rather than vast, so a buyer should check how their existing furniture fits the bedrooms.

An 81 m² terrace and what the community includes

Outdoor space is the defining feature of this 2 bedroom penthouse with private pool in Casares Playa. At 81 m², the terrace is only six square metres smaller than the built area itself, giving enough room for a dining table, outdoor seating and a barbecue area without crowding. Below the building, Alcazaba Lagoon centres on an artificial lagoon for swimming and water sports. The community also maintains communal swimming pools, gardens, lounge areas, a gym and children's play areas, all covered by 24-hour security. Because extensive facilities like a man-made lagoon and round-the-clock security require ongoing upkeep, buyers should ask to see the annual community budget when viewing.

Parking, storage and location

A garage space and a storage room are included in the sale. Having dedicated storage is particularly useful when a flat is used for water sports on the lagoon, keeping boards and bulky equipment out of the living area. The development sits in Casares Playa within walking or driving reach of the coast, and serves as a practical base between Marbella and Gibraltar.
